Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku reunite after many years and play together in Napoli's shirt from the 2025/26 season.

Napoli entered the new season as Serie A champions, determined to defend their title. To do this, the southern Italian team actively strengthened their squad in the summer transfer window.

The most notable signing and the one that has excited Napoli fans the most is Kevin De Bruyne, the famous star of Man City. De Bruyne will reunite with Lukaku with a very clear mission: to develop his compatriot's scoring ability to form a formidable duo in Italy and the upcoming Champions League.

Last season, Lukaku contributed to Napoli's Serie A title with 14 goals. When playing alongside De Bruyne, Lukaku is expected to play more explosively in Antonio Conte's system.

De Bruyne helps Napoli increase its strength significantly.

De Bruyne was a Premier League icon before moving to Serie A. In 422 appearances for Man City, the 34-year-old scored 108 goals and provided 170 assists. He contributed greatly to Man City winning 6 Premier League titles, 1 Champions League, 2 FA Cups and 5 League Cups.

With plenty of experience and good adaptability, De Bruyne is considered to have no difficulty in catching up in Serie A. Napoli fans expect De Bruyne to shine like Scott McTominay last season, when the former MU star also just moved from the Premier League.

The understanding between De Bruyne and Lukaku is a big plus, as the two have played together 79 times for Belgium, with De Bruyne providing 16 assists for Lukaku during that time.

Lukaku revealed that he played an important role in helping Napoli recruit De Bruyne. The former Chelsea star said: "It didn't take much effort for me, as De Bruyne is always humble and loves his family very much. I just asked Kevin to become the central figure at Napoli like he did at the Belgian national team and Man City."

De Bruyne also revealed that he had spoken to Lukaku and another former Napoli team-mate, Dries Mertens. "I called them to get their opinion. They gave me a lot of information, but in the end, it was my decision, a family decision," De Bruyne said.

The combination of De Bruyne and Lukaku, alongside other stars such as Scott McTominay, Noa Lang and Frank Anguissa, promises to create a formidable force for Napoli next season. The balance in attack helps Napoli not only compete in Serie A but also aim for success in the European arena.

Who will replace Kevin De Bruyne at Manchester City? Reports that Kevin De Bruyne could move to the Saudi Pro League have sparked speculation about how Manchester City will fill the void left by the creative midfielder.
